Finding Out About Weird National Holidays

By Anita Ortega


There are so many people in the world who like to celebrate things that are different from anyone else. Everyone around knows that weird national holidays truly exist and they have been around for quite some time. People who are living in the United States really love to take the time to spotlight all of these occasions.

Many people who are now living in the south enjoy it when they can take pride in their heritage. Confederate Memorial Day is one great time that happens during the year. This date remembers all of the individuals who lost their lives during the Civil War. The southern states will have this date listed on their calendars at different times.

It is a well known fact that Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas and Alabama all celebrate Confederate Day. This is one day that they can always rub the confederate flag in anyone's face who has a different opinion.

People living in any of these states know that this date is filled with hatred and rage against others. Blacks do not like it when they see white southerners dressed in Civil War outfits while walking the streets. Even many of the southern museums will have special ceremonies that will commemorate this tragic time in history. White people in the south were fighting to keep slavery alive while northerners wanted to end it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately so many Caucasian humans within the United States are not interested in the feelings that other people display. If you are different from them in any way at all they do not respect your thoughts. Despite any negativity all agencies under the state will close their business for one day.

Many blacks have even protested this day on many occasions but their efforts were futile. The government ignored their requests to end this Civil War catastrophe since it was already promised to certain individuals. Nowadays all state workers just enjoy having this time off and forget about the negative history surrounding the day.

On February 13th people have the right to change their name for twenty four hours. Human beings who are not satisfied with the name that their parents gave them at birth will always like this day. Sometimes parents do not think about the horrible names that they are giving to their child after they are born and this is very unfortunate. Within American society there are some very strange names that are given to babies in hospitals everywhere. Many black people try to be different and will call their children African names after they are born.

The Middle Child Day happens on August 12th each and every year. This date will give all middle children the chance to be seen and heard. Parents everywhere can treat their second child to dinner and a movie on this day. The oldest and youngest child can also do great things for their middle sibling.
